First of all I apologize for my poor English, I am Italian and it has long time since I have used to write English.

I installed BLAG 90k on an old pci, for a friend of mine. It is the only distro I was able to install (other distros don't function, they stop for kernel panic or, in any case, they can't work X) and it works fine.

I have only a problem. No sound at all. The audio controller is 82801 EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) Intel.
I found on Fedora forum (How to) there is a problem with Intel audio controller and a workaround for it.

Code:

1)Add atrpms repo for sound . Include only necessary packages alsa-driver and alsa-kmdl

3)To get sound working after suspendcat /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules

SUSPEND_MODULES=”snd_hda_intel”

chmod +x /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules

4) Reboot

Can I use on Blag?

Thanks in advance.

You probably don't need to install anything or do any of the above tricks. Just double-click on the speaker icon in the upper right corner to bring up the mixer. Then make sure the levels are all up and ok. Like on mine it has "Front Speakers" muted all the way down. This is likely your problem--the sound card is there, it's just muted.

Thank you for your reply.
I opened mixer and up all the levels, but it didn't function.
Then I set all options in
system > preferences > hardware > sound
to ALSA, then I logout and login back, but neither this function.

When I tried test I received in answer this:

Code:

audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application.

By the way yesterday I run Fedora 9 live cd on my computer where I installed Ubuntu 8.04 (Kde and Gnome, Intel 82801 ICH9 family) and I had no sound, besides with Ubuntu sound functions.

Thanks.

It's quite a dump there, but nothing looks out of the ordinary. The pulseaudio things you see are just because it's not doing "realtime" (which I dont think it really does anyway), so that's all just noise.

Pulseaudio "owns" the soundcard and prevents other applications from accessing it. You're "supposed" to send sound to it.

You should just get an error on the *second* one. If that's correct, then you definitely just have something flipped. Sometimes you have to turn off or on things like headphone jack sense and such. In sum, if it's not giving you errors, then its probably just muted somewhere!

Or you could just `killall pulseaudio` when you log in and play things directly, but that's kind of cheap ;)
